Jud & Bill are hosting a CONTEST. With a PRIZE!

Posted on June 15, 2012 | 13 comments

This post is my first-ever attempt at a link-up so please bear with me.

Yesterday, I posted the final episode of the Jud & Bill Brotherly Love series. For those of you just tuning in, click here to catch up on the pair of brothers who accidentally included me on their rather colorful, back-and-forth correspondence for quite a while. And, being the “good samaritan” that I am, I chose not to put an end to it with a polite email to the senders but rather to post all of their personal messages … right here … for your enjoyment and mine.

Anyway, since someone finally caught the error and cut me out of the email loop, we now find ourselves left with burning questions, undeveloped characters and dangling plot lines. This doesn’t sit well with me at all.

So, here’s where YOU come in.

I’m giving you a week to write the NEW final episode of the Jud & Bill series. It can be any length you want. There are NO rules. You can tie up the loose ends by continuing with the current storyline or go off completely on your own tangent. Be creative. (Creative = something that will make me smile, forget my troubles, shake with laughter, have a renewed outlook on life, pee my pants, find religion, run for shelter, whatever.) Then … link it up here.

At the end of next week, I’ll pick a winner OR if I can’t decide (you’ve got to know what’s coming, right?) I’ll put it up for a vote. Oh, and if you want to play but don’t have a blog to link up, email it to me at olddognewtits@gmail.com. I’ll post it myself and link it up. Assuming I can actually do that. God, I hope this works. (sweat, sweat)

The winner will get a small token of my appreciation sent to him or her personally … that is, if you’re willing to give me your home address. (Cue maniacal cackling) Best of luck to all of you.

This link-up doesn’t require a backlink to this post (only because I’m too stupid to figure it out) but I sure would appreciate one in your post. And, remember, I AM on the panel of judges.

Jud,

It sounds like Buddy and you enjoyed the game last night, despite the lopsided loss. Where are the fathers in today’s society? They should be bringing the kids to the games. And speaking of fathers, we were enjoying the all-star game last night when a very large man almost sat down on my lap. Mind you, there is room for about 5,000 more fans than were at the game, but he chose to sit very close to me. By this time, we had already seen Ryan Garvey with the home run contest before the game. The kid hit five out in each round, winning the whole sheebang. The trophy he went home with would make a great room divider. His dad, Steve, threw out the first pitch, and he still cannot throw, one of the reasons he was taken off third base in his early Dodger career. Anyway, back to the big guy. He asks me if I come here often. I am starting to think “old pick-up line” and immediately reach for Jean’s hand to hold. However, he begins to tell me that he has two sons in the league and one is playing tonight. I tell him all the ramifications of the Home Run Derby, and then he tells me that the other son, a pitcher who I had seen throw before, was asked to leave the Power because he got into a shoving match with the Garvey kid. (This is like picking on Donald Trump’s kid in midtown New York. Not a smart choice on this guy’s son’s part.) So we kibitzed for a while until he asked me about ceviche. I had no idea what he was talking about and looked around to see if Santa Ana’s followers were getting ready to avenge what happened after the Alamo uprising. Then, Jean explained that it was a shrimp dish cooked in lime, etc. Do I have a sign stenciled on my forehead that says “Talk to me”. I don’t care. Does it look like I miss a meal? We finally left with the score tied 2-2 in the eighth. Talk to youse tomorrow.

Billy
